Abstract

The objective of the research was to analyze bachelor students? perception of the Technologies and Information Management course at the Autonomous University of Chihuahua. The study was conducted during the period 2014-2015. This was an empirical study with a non-experimental, descriptive quantitative approach. The total sample consisted of 366 students attending their first semester in face-to-face, blended and virtual modalities. The instrument used was a questionnaire, which was applied to the students in their classrooms. A regression analysis of the main variables was conducted. There are several aspects that need to be changed in order to make the subject more interactive and innovative, in accordance with current needs. A program restructure of the subject is proposed, one where the central axes are the powers of information and communication technologies necessary for meaningful learning, and consistent with each professional?s chosen area of expertise. It?s also necessary to train teachers both technologically and pedagogically, as well as to upgrade computer equipment. It was concluded that most students considered the subject good, and there is a good command of information and communications technologies by students.
